A Welcome Cake

11 Jul 2011

I asked Sweet Kiera to bake a cake in honor of Kristi arriving in San Francisco. A ‘welcome cake’. Kristi is in town for a whole month! Yay!

Kiera did an AMAZING JOB – My favorite cake ever. The iconic style, the simplicity, the cute fondant clouds. SO YUMMY!! That may sound a little cliche, but I don’t think there is a better adjective than yummy. We’re all pretty spoiled around here – Kiera’s cakes always taste the best. And what’s a cake that doesn’t taste as good as it looks?

Kiera put a cute little sign on the cake – so charming! I didn’t think it needed anything, but she was right…

Can you believe how big the boys have gotten since Christmas? So tall and handsome!


The funniest moment was when we realized that Sam was wolfing the cake – he doesn’t really like cake.
He even asked Kiera for the recipe! Clearly, a game changer. “Let them eat cake!” – but only if it’s from Sweet Kiera! :)

Welcome Kristi, Cole, Sam and eventually Rob – Happy Summer in San Francisco!

(ps. it was a horrible foggy cold day today. Classic San Francisco summer bummer. Kristi was lovin’ it.)

Just what you need – December photos in January. But Kristi graciously shared her photos with us, and I’m just getting to that disc now.
Remember those cute gift tag cookies? Here’s the party that went with them! (UPDATE: And here’s the party blogged on SweetKiera.com)


This invitation rocks!

I’m craving my Maker’s & Ginger Ale.
Thank You Cole and Kiera for hosting such a fun night!

We had a Rocky Mountain New Year

01 Jan 2011

Woo Hoo!
The Mollard family and Marnee Thai – What could be better. The kids got to do a night hunt for glow in the dark monster wiggley things. Twice. Mark called Melissa and put her on speaker phone. The kids were not, – repeat NOT – going to make it until SF midnight. So a Rocky Mountain New Year it was, with the gusto of 5 and 8 year old ‘bazookas’ blowing everything up. We did the countdown, and toasted with kisses and Martinelli’s. Cole Mollard and Lucy slept through it. Oscar was so funny – he had glazed eyes and seemed happily intoxicated. He confided to Uncle Cole, “This is very bubbly, but it’s good bubbles! I can handle good bubbles!” So Cheers to You and Yours! Hope your 2011 is the greatest!
